FORT WORTH -- A teacher pepper-sprayed two 16-year-old students Wednesday at a west side charter school, according to authorities.

Police responded to a fight call about 2 p.m. involving the two students at Richard Milburn Academy, 6785 Camp Bowie Blvd.

When officers arrived, a teacher had already stopped the fight by pepper-spraying the students involved. No one was taken to the hospital and no arrests were made, police said.

All the affected students were either picked up by their parents or left the location prior to police arrival, authorities said. School administrative staff said they are investigating the matter and will provide more details as soon as they become available, Lara Brooks, academy spokeswoman said.
